The student has received fundamental knowledge about wearable robotic technologies and understands the requirements for the design, the interface to the human body and the control of wearable robots. He/she is able to describe methods for modelling the human neuromusculoskeletal system, the mechatronic design, fabrication and composition of interfaces to the human body. The student understands the symbiotic human–machine interaction as a core topic of Anthropomatics and has knowledge of state-of-the-art examples of exoskeletons, orthoses and prostheses.

The lecture provides an overview of wearable robot technologies (exoskeletons, prostheses and ortheses) and their potentials. It starts with the basics of wearable robotics and introduces different approaches to the design of wearable robots and their related actuator and sensor technology. The lecture focuses on modeling the neuromusculoskeletal system of the human body, the interfaces of wearable robots to the human body and the physical and cognitive human-robot interaction for tightly-coupled hybrid human-robot systems. Examples of current research and various applications of lower, upper and full body exoskeletons as well as prostheses are presented.

Attendance of the lecture Mechano-Informatics in Robotics is recommended.
